modChip-Wii from 2008 returning Worried about Bricking

Hello I haven't used my console wince late 2008. I had it chipped back then by a friend and am unfamiliar with what what exactly used. I downloaded a new game and when I put it in, it recquired a newer software version but I have no clue what has been happening in the wii world in the past 3 years. I am here looking for someone to hold my hand and tell me everything will be alright. Is there a way to get my heritage wii back to use?
